Penalty hero Lee working hard to maintain form

Lee Nicholls has made some crucial saves this season but his penalty stop in Friday night’s victory over AFC Wimbledon is arguably his most important so far.

With half an hour left to play at the Cherry Red Records Stadium and the Dons leading 2-0, AFC Wimbledon were presented with an opportunity to reduce the deficit when Scott Golbourne was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area.

However, Nicholls guessed correctly to deny Lyle Taylor from the penalty spot, diving down to his right to palm away the forward’s effort and preserve the two-goal lead which the men from MK1 wouldn’t surrender en route to their memorable win.
